I have two favorite tv shows right now...one American and one English...both, surprisingly, reality shows. For these shows I will change my routine to enable viewing. The first is , So You Think You Can Dance, the dance competition rip off of American Idol. The main difference is that this show is not an offense to its art. American Idol is kind of like a parasite on music, not to mention it is amazingly stupid. So You Think You Can Dance certainly has its stupid moment, the judges in some cases, the ridiculously contrived plot narratives added to all the contestants, but generally speaking it is tons of fun. The dancing is almost all good.

The other is an English show where Gordon Ramsey, a famous English chef (oxymoron?) goes to a failing restaurant and tries to whip the staff and business into shape. Gordon Ramsey is a self-righteous prick and that alone is interesting...but I like all the cooking and stuff. Plus, two of my old flatmates in London were chefs at Gordon Ramsey restaurants so it makes it interesting in a personal way.
